Gígjagjá (Yoda Cave)

Yoda Cave, located in the Hjorleifshofdi mountain, is named for its resemblance to the Star Wars character. Parts of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story were filmed in the mountain itself. Nestled in the black sands and lava fields of Iceland’s South Coast, this unique formation is sure to impress.

Gígjagjá has become a popular destination for both Star Wars fans and nature lovers on the South Coast. The surrounding area offers hiking opportunities with spectacular views of black sand beaches, rolling seas, and snow-capped mountains. Yoda Cave offers travelers a beautiful experience without requiring advanced hiking or outdoor experience.

Yoda Cave is naturally carved into the rock, creating an epic photo opportunity—especially with the contrast of the black sand and sky. Plus, it tends to be less crowded than other attractions, offering a peaceful experience.
